Camila Fernández did not set out to evoke her grandfather when she recorded the title track of her new album. In fact, she had no idea who had written it. Only afterwards did she learn that “Una Raya Más Al Tigre” was by Martín Urieta, the composer behind “Acá entre nos” and “Mujeres divinas,” two songs closely associated with Vicente Fernández, her grandfather. The connection was completely unplanned, which made it all the more meaningful.
The discovery hit her hard. As she shared with ¡HOLA!, the unexpected connection made the recording especially emotional.
It is difficult to separate Camila completely from the Fernández musical history, nor does she try to. She is the daughter of Alejandro Fernández and granddaughter of Vicente, and grew up hearing the kind of songs that can turn heartbreak into something meant to be sung at full volume. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she remembers seeing both of them cry to music. Those memories have stayed with her.

Released September 10th, Una Raya Más Al Tigre takes that idea further. The nine-song album is her third devoted to mariachi and includes her first mariachi ballads. She also plays with the way a younger generation actually talks. Titles including “No manches” and “Ni te topo” sit comfortably beside more traditional sounds. “Suéltame,” originally conceived as a pop song before being reworked for mariachi, has already found one particularly important fan: her five-year-old daughter, Cayetana.
The awards have followed the music. Her song “Retumbando En El Cora,” which she performed at Premios Juventud in 2025, brought her back to the ceremony this year as the winner of Best Mariachi Song. She was also named Female New Artist of the Year at Premio Lo Nuestro, and La Fernández earned her first Latin Grammy nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album.

For Camila, carrying the Fernández name does not mean repeating what came before. She can sing the heartbreak she inherited and still make room for the woman she has become.
